Small government is a common talking point pulling on the strings of what we all intuitively desire (less intrusion in our lives) without providing context.
I’d love to see less government interference in people’s reproductive rights, in education like the massive censorship around US history of slavery and genocide and the slightest mention of lgbtq people. Imagine Germany fighting tooth and nail against teaching about the world wars in school - would be a bit of a red flag, no?
Government protecting corporations from their responsibilities to the safety of the public and toward our ecosystems is extremely oppressive toward us, our children, and I see as interference. Defining government enforcing such protections as “interference” is an obvious sleigh of hand. Another example is extending copyright to longer than 7-15 years and enforcing this insanity for the robbing of the public domain.
People keeping their fair share of their labor is a similar one. I’d like to see a cap on exploitation of 99% of people, not constant reductions on the taxes that the 1% earn while they sleep - mostly at the cost of the rest not having livable wages.
East access to healthcare and great education makes a strong nation. Encouraging prosperity for all instead of creating moats around the wealth of the richest extractors also makes a strong nation.
I want to see the US as a strong healthy nation, very very much.

I bet I can test your resolve to both of them and show you really do not want more freedom, you just want different government controls than "the other team"
For example Education. Do you support backpack funded school choice, putting the power of what schools people go to in the hands of the parents?
Reproductive Rights.. How about "Financial Abortion" or Default Joint Custody with no support to either parent? Or mandatory DNA validation before entering names on birth certificates.

Corporations are a creation of government, the entire purpose of a corporation is to protect them from liberality. That is really the sole reason for their existence. I always love when strong government supports rail on and on about corporations when strong government is the source of power for corporations.
The stronger the government the stronger the corporations. The more centralized the government, the larger the corporations.
Since We have been putting more and more regulation an power under the pervue of the federal government the largest corporations have gone from about 20% market share on average to 80% market share on average.
Strong Central Governments weakens and prohibits competition in the market place, history proves this time and time again

"A world that is safe for today’s rich will never be safe for the rest of us. Not until the rich’s massive fortunes, and the state power propagating them, is destroyed will we be safe. Smashing the state and eating the rich are two sides of the same coin." [1]
>I want to see the US as a strong healthy nation, very very much. I think we’re on the same page, would you agree?
I want to see a Federalist nation of 50 semi-independent States joined in a common economic union under a single National Defense Apparatus where the bulk of out government interactions are at the state and local level, and most people never even think about the federal government who simply ensures we are not invaded from the outside, that States do not fight each other, and that we can trade freely on the world stage.
